Hi, thanks in advance to anyone that can offer some advice. I have a 1983 245 DL wagon (~200k) which recently stalled on me. If I wait 10-15 minutes, it will start up again but will die as it gets warmer. After searching brickboard, this is what I have done:

1. Swapped distributer from a wreck- same exact problem
2. Tested coil- good
3. Swapped ignition control unit from a wreck- same problem
4. Fuel pump relay clicks at key turn, but I also swapped one from a wreck- no change.
5. When running, both fuel pumps can be heard (main changed within 2yrs, in tank, never changed since I had the car (4 yrs).
6. After it dies and will not start immediately, spark is getting to the coil when cranking.

Other than the unlikely possibility that one of the parts I have swapped has the same exact malfunction, is there something that I may have overlooked, or is there a troubleshooting method I can try? Thank you very much for your help and advice.
Sincerely,
Craig
